Listen Later

Learn how to reassess Medicare coverage during open enrollment and get the latest on interest rates, home sales, and stock prices.


How can you know if you have the right amount of Medicare coverage? How can you change your Medicare coverage? Hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski dive into the latest findings on Medicare coverage from a new NerdWallet survey conducted by the Harris Poll. Personal Finance Nerd Elizabeth Ayoola joins to discuss what Medicare enrollees can do if they’re unsure whether they’ve chosen the right plan. The Nerds explain what Medicare users can do to reassess their coverage during open enrollment, which starts October 15, and how to navigate special enrollment periods when life changes occur.


In addition to the Medicare survey, Sean and Anna cover key financial headlines from the week, including the Federal Reserve’s decision to lower interest rates, the latest trends in home sales trends, and what the new SEC rules that will allow stock prices to be quoted in half-cent increments mean for the average trader.
